"So don't even think about turning back. Just keep moving forward."

"Of course, I heard everyone's quarrel just now. There are only two reasons. One is that they want a small road to avoid the bandits in Qingfeng Village.

"Another aspect is to blend in with other refugee groups and set out together through Qingfeng Village."

"Then let me analyze these two aspects for you. First, let's talk about taking the side road. Of course, taking the side road is a good idea."

The villagers surrounding Yun Yiyi also nodded after hearing this.

"There should be only one reason why everyone is considering the small road, and that is to avoid the bandits in Qingfeng Village."

"However, I will tell you about the difficulties we will encounter if we take the small road. You can listen to me and then decide whether to take the small road or not."

"First, take the small paths, which are not safe. I heard from people in Shilin Town that the small paths are all in the mountains and forests, and no one has walked on them for a long time.

This means that when we walk in the mountains and forests, we have to face wild animals in the mountains. Yes, wild animals.

There is no shortage of water in the mountains here. If you go deeper into the mountains, you will definitely find wild animals like tigers, bears, and wild boars.

Even if we can defeat the wild animals, we are carrying the elderly and children with us. What will we do if they get hurt?

However, if we take the official route, we can avoid this problem. So this is one of the reasons why I recommend everyone to take the official route.

In addition, the paths are all on the mountain and all vehicles are not allowed to pass, including carts, mule carts, horse carts, and donkey carts.

So how do you plan to take your belongings away from home? Do you plan to carry them on your back? If you carry them on your back, it will definitely slow down the team, regardless of how much you can carry.

After Yun Yiyi finished speaking, she glanced at the crowd again.

The people from Yunjia Village who were watching couldn't help but nodded.

"The weather is getting colder and colder. If we have to walk, when will we be able to get out of the forest? Will it snow while we are still in the forest?"

"Yes, Yiyi is right. Walking on the mountain road is indeed too slow. Maybe it will snow and we won't be out of the forest yet."

"The key is that we have too many things at home and we can't carry them all. There are also elderly people and children at home, and they walk slowly."

"If the child is very young, he or she will also need to be carried by an adult, which will make the process even slower."

"It's definitely not realistic to rely on people to carry everything in the house. How can people carry food, clothes, quilts, and cooking utensils?"

"Yeah, I definitely can't carry it. I still need a car. At least a cart to help pull things."

"The key is that even a cart cannot be used in the mountains. Not to mention mule carts, horse carts and donkey carts."

"So what Yiyi said makes sense. It's not realistic for us to take the small road."

"We can't go back. If we can't take the small road, the only option left is to take the official road."

"Yes, he can only take the official road. However, if he takes the official road, he will encounter bandits from Qingfeng Village. It is not safe."

"Who said it wasn't true? There are more than 600 bandits in Qingfeng Village, all of them are young and strong. We can't defeat them at all."

"Don't even think about it. Let alone the fact that there are more than 600 bandits in Qingfeng Village, even if there are only more than 300, we can't defeat them."

"I heard that the bandits in Qingfeng Village are all bad guys who kill without blinking an eye. We will be in trouble if we encounter them."

"Oh, we are really in a dilemma."

"Forget it, forget it. We can't come up with any good solutions. Let's just rely on the village chief, the elders, and Yun Yiyi."

"Yes, they are all smart people, and they must have more ideas than us."

"Yes, Yun Yiyi has helped the village solve many problems before. Let's listen to what Yun Yiyi has to say."

"Haha, you're right. Let smart people worry about these problems. They've come up with solutions, and we can just follow their lead."

"Yeah, that's what my dad told me."

Yun Yiyi waited until everyone had discussed for a while before she interrupted them and said, "Okay, everyone, listen to me for a few more words."

"Okay, let's listen to Yiyi."

"Let's see what Yun Yiyi can do."

Yun Yiyi raised her voice, "I just analyzed it for everyone. Taking the small road and returning are not good solutions."

"Then we can only keep going forward. So we can only find a way to pass Qingfeng Village."

"I know everyone is afraid of the bandits in Qingfeng Village. To be honest, not only are you afraid, I am afraid too. They have no sympathy. They kill people when they are unhappy. Who wouldn't be afraid?"

"So it's normal for us all to be afraid. However, even so, we have to find a way to pass Qingfeng Village and continue moving forward."

"Of course, I have also thought about the consequences. If we get close to Qingfeng Village, the bandits there will definitely take us and our belongings away to the village."

"But, I've researched it, and taking the official route is the shortest and fastest way. And now it's only a few days before the bandits from Qingfeng Village come down the mountain to collect food."

"If we don't leave and just stay outside Shilin Town, the bandits in Qingfeng Village will definitely take our food."

Everyone was a little surprised after hearing Yun Yiyi's words.

Yun Yiyi looked at everyone's surprised expressions and said helplessly, "The people of Qingfeng Village will treat us the same way they treat the villagers down the mountain."

"Qingfeng Village hasn't collected the grain yet, but the news has been spread. If everyone doesn't have enough grain, you can use people to replace the grain."

"Both men and women can be used as food. However, the bandits in Qingfeng Village need to select people, and those they choose can be used as food."

"This means that in the eyes of the Qingfeng Village bandits, we refugees, even if we don't have food, we still have people."

"The bandits in Qingfeng Village are making too much plans."

"They are planning to keep the villagers around Qingfeng Village in captivity."

"If this continues, our situation will be really bad."

"Yes, we can't move forward, and it's not safe to stop outside of Shilin Town. Do we still have a chance to survive?"

"Oh, why is it so difficult?"

"Everyone listen to me. Even if we want to continue moving forward now, there is a time limit."

"That means we must catch the bandits in Qingfeng Village. Before they go down the mountain to collect food, we must leave Shilin Town and pass Qingfeng Village."

"Because we can't face the bandits in Qingfeng Village directly. We can't defeat them, so we can only hide from them."

"Of course, even if we have to hide from them, we have to find a way."

"So I suggest that the village send some people to Shilin Town to inquire about the news."

"Also send some people to the refugee groups around us to get some information."
